I have tried playmidi - compiled for awe32 - and it played (at least it didn't return for the time the midi sequence lasted) - but no sound... I also found midiplay - but wasn't able to download it (exept the atari version, packed in a .zoo i dont (or at least fileroller dont) know how to open. http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/midiplay_linux/ <- linux http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/MIDIPlay/ <- atari I know what timidity does - the problem is just that the default patcset sucks beyond anything i have formerly seen. The kmidi help page recomends some places to download better patches for timidity, but all the links are broken. The biggest question is really: Why are those not included in timidity by default? Hmm.. why not? ever-lasting driver issue? We have a /dev/sequencer, why is it so hard to use? Think ill just have to fool around a little bit more, find out more things etc. søn, 12.09.2004 kl. 04.49 skrev Chris Adams: > Once upon a time, Alan Cox <alan@xxxxxxxxxx> said: > > On Sat, Sep 11, 2004 at 11:26:48PM +0200, Kyrre Ness Sjobak wrote: > > > Hmm...
